Abstract
A non-geometric relativistic theory of gravitation is developed by defining a semi-metric to replace the metric tensor as gravitational vector potential. The theory show that the energy-momentum tensor of the gravitational field belong to the gravitational source, gravitational radiation is contained in Einstein’s field equations that including the contribution of gravitational field, the real physical singularity in the gravitational field can be eliminated, and the dark matter in the universe is interpreted as the matter of pure gravitational field.
